Forests and Water International Momentum and Action
|
|
| Forests play a crucial role in the hydrological cycle. Forests influence the amount of
water available and regulate surface and groundwater flows while maintaining high
water quality. Forests and trees contribute to the reduction of water-related risks
such as landslides, local floods and droughts and help prevent desertification and
salinization. Forested watersheds supply a high proportion of the world’s accessible
fresh (...) |

Guidelines for formulating national forest financing strategies
|
|
| Forests provide fresh water, soil protection, carbon sequestration, and other valuable resources that forest-dependent communities have relied on for millennia. Quantifying these goods and services has been the focus of considerable attention in recent years. But even if we can agree on how much they are worth, how do we pay for such goods and services? Given that most of the forests in Asia and the Pacific region are state (...) |

Making forestry work for the poor
|
|
| The forestry sector's contribution to poverty alleviation in Asia and the Pacific is of great importance owing to the high prevalence of poverty in forested areas. Obstacles to reducing poverty through forestry are many. Forests are often far from markets and poor people frequently lack marketing knowledge, financial capital and/or networks necessary to reap benefits from forest related activities. Unstable land and resource (...) |

| Projections for the United States and Canada to 2030 have been made with
a global model to account for concurrent changes in other countries. Three
future scenarios were investigated: two IPCC-based scenarios assuming the
rapid growth of wood-based energy, and one IPCC-based scenario without
this assumption. The model, under the IPCC scenarios, accounted for trends
in population, income and land use along with emerging (...) |
